Review by Nia

"I absolutely LOVE Youngju. She's my savior. Her classes are interactive in all kinds of ways possible. She asks for your prior experience and things like

that before hand so she knows what kind of learner you are. I'm very comfortable with Youngju and feel like I can even talk to her and ask questions without judgement. She has improved my Korean so much and I'm looking forward to hearing what my Korean will sound like by the end of this year. Thank you so much Youngju ^.^"

Los Angeles, CA teacher:
Jihye L.

Review by David

"I have attended 4 classes in Korean for Beginners and 1 Intro to Korean conversation class. Ms. Jihye L. has a easy style and natural ability for managin

g a group lesson of students at different levels. She is not overly formal, and when we are lost or confused, she is in no rush but helps us get through the topic at our own speed. She explains well the details regarding grammar, verb forms, and the levels of formality or politeness, as she writes the needed words on the whiteboard behind her. I think she understands that we will not and cannot learn something new in one shot, but only through patient trial and error."

Review by Kathleen

"Youngju has been an excellent teacher. She has made sure I understand each topic completely before introducing more, she has adapted lessons to fit my le

arning style, she has tailored our lessons to help me meet the specific language goals I have for work, and she has been very accommodating to a sudden interruption in my schedule. Every lesson is interesting and fun, and I feel progress and accomplishment at the end of each one."
